Welcome to the Two Harbors Curling Club

History

The Two Harbors Curling Club was originally known as the Two Harbors Jaycees Curling Club and originated in 1963 when the D.M.&I.R. Railway gave permission to a group of curlers to flood the floor of their storehouse building. After a year of curling in the frigid storehouse, the curling club, headed by President Walter Egeland promoted the idea of building a curling club.

A group of 75 individuals purchased a site on State Road #2 from the City of Two Harbors, and with primarily volunteer labor, they erected a sheet metal pole building in time for the next curling season. By 1968 the club had arranged a mortgage for funds to install an artificial ice plant and continued to add impressive improvements to the rink.

In 1970 the team of Butch Halden, Jim Osbakken, Giles Anderson, and Dwaine Moe brought the first State Championship home to Two Harbors. In 1983 Two Harbors hosted their first USCA National Mixed Championship.

The Two Harbors Curling Club lost their building to fire during the 1991-92 curling season. In February of 1992 the curling club donated their parcel of land to the City of Two Harbors, in exchange for a long-term lease for property to construct a new facility. This new facility was constructed by the curling club and connected to the existing clubhouse of the Municipal Golf Course, where it remains a dual use facility.

In 2011, after 18 months of negotiations, The Curling Club entered into an agreement with the City of Two Harbors, taking ownership of the building. The Curling Club formed Tee Line Management, LLC to oversee the summer concessions of the Lakeview National Golf Course. Tee Line Management, LLC is a subsidiary of the Two Harbors Curling Club.
